He and Hiroko are now in Atlanta where he is with Georgia Tech Research Institute. They have a one year old son Yoshi.

I am registered Professional Engineer in the State of Florida.
My Career:I was with FPL for 39 years since graduating from FIT in 1971.

I am now an adjunt instructor at ERAU teaching a senior course in Mechanical Engineering.
How I spend my free time:Bobbi and I are very involved in our community and I have been Chairman/President of various organizations including, Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce, Boys & Girls Clubs, League of Women Voters, FUTURES Education foundation and currently I am on the boards of WorkForce Development, Civic League and Boys/Girls Clubs. My knees prevent any basketball but Bobbi and I swing dance every week or so and she is still light enough that I can do aerials and throw her around. We both ride motorcycles and I am co-chair of the Bike Week Task Force that manages the largest motorcycle event in the world. We also like to take a long weekend and ride to Savannah or longer trips like Washington D.C. and Canada. For around town I restored the bike I wanted while in High School; a 1960 Harley Super-10.
Other comments:After 47 years of marriage I admit that I am still enamored with Bobbi. We love the small town atmosphere of Ormond Beach yet we are 15 minutes from all the activities in Daytona Beach and an hour from Orlando. We are blessed that our children and grandchildren live so close. (Updated 11/13/2017)
